Editor Cslfar Chsvmicls:
/ see my name in the CHRONICLE,
and your comment makes it look
bad / would like for you to have
the truth to comment on when you
comment When p. w. Smith
says l said / went according to my
feelings, and not according to law,
he told an infamous lie. / said
this: The law did not always give
justice, nor was doctors certif-
cate, that had been bought two or
three years for the sum of 81 so,
worth much to a man when he re-
fused to swear that he was not
able to work the road. / told
Smith that if he would swear he
was not able to work the road I
had nothing to say in the matter,
but he refused to be sworn on the
case and / can prove it by six or
eight of his neighbors Mr.. s. T.
Parish says he will swear that he
has given P. w. Smith Is cents
more on the days work than any
other man because he could do
more work than any other man he
could hire and at the same time he
had this certificate.
You say you are glad there is a
law. I am sorry the law is not
executed If it had been executed
on Smith, when he burned the
Protestant Methodist church, there
would now rave been no trouble
over the road working; Smith would
have learned to obey the lawn In
this time. But when q man can
burn church house in country
like this and escape the law, no
wonder he thinks he can get out of
working the road. Smith may
find some men who will execute
the law, and If our officers had
done their duty he would have felt
the sting of the law before now.
If Mr.. Smith feels agrieved the
courts are open. / told him If he
would go and put ia . half day on
the road I would give him my cost,
and he said he wanted to 60 to
Jail. He went
